The all-ages festival will be noon to 5 p.m. Sept. 17 at Columbia Park in Shreveport's Highland neighborhood. The 13th annual event is hosted by the Highland Area Partnership and presented by Twisted Root Burger Company.

Residents and visitors will bear witness to concerts from local and regional favorites -- some returning and others performing on the festival's stage for the first time.

Soul Rebels, an eight-piece brass band ensemble, is popular for their mixed styles of soul, jazz, funk, hip hop, rock and pop music. The New Orleans group has toured Europe, played The Voodoo Music Experience, opened for Bruno Mars and collaborated with artists, including Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Marilyn Manson, Big Freedia, Kool & The Gang, Slick Rick and Black Thought of The Roots.

Flow Tribe, a six-musician group from New Orleans, will perform from 2:15 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. The America jazz funk rock band has played New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival and Voodoo Fest. They're known for their high-energy "street parade" performance style.

The commemorative poster for the 13th annual Highland Jazz & Blues Festival was designed by Shreveport artist and New Orleans native, Karen LaBeau.
